Flea Bath?

Is there something specific you have to buy to give your pet a flea bath? Cause I've been trying to give my sim dog a flea bath and it just.. doesn't do anything.

I've tried moving the bath tub into an open area to make sure nothing was blocking the way and then tried using different bath tubs.. I've also tried googling it but couldn't find anything am I doing something wrong?

I'm so glad you posted this question. This just happened to me and I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I clicked on the tub and the pet and selected "give flea bath" but nothing happened. I wonder if this is a bug and we should report it? If someone out there knows what we need to do please let us know!

OK I really don't get it, my sim is friends with the cat and dog that has fleas, and I believe even best friends with the dog. I can click the dog and click on "Give XX a flea bath", but then he does NOTHING at all. Whats going on?

i was going to say ask EA in a email but their CS is rubbish and you wont get a reply.
try going on live chat and asking

Live Chat is even worse than the email option. One of my experiences was that I was trying to figure out what to do when my EP wasn't working and they linked me to a page on how to download CC. Calling is your best bet with Cust. Service, and each time I've called ( minus two ) have worked out perfectly. Very nice and stay on task.

Yeah, I've got the same thing. Best friends, bought a whole new tub and stuck it in the middle of the lawn so it's not obstructed, and nothing.
I finally just turned on cheats and clicked off the moodlet.

Ok my sim cat brought in fleas and gave it to everyone (dog, my sim, and sims husband) I got them friends (wouldn't work otherwise so friends status does seem to be needed) and gave the dog a flea bath, gave the hubby a flea bath, gave the cat 2 (TWO) flea baths and it goes through the whole interaction and at the end she STILL has the fleas! I can't get them off the cat! Going to try the other sim now. I might just have to use master controller to get the moodlet/fleas off... :?

I have the exact same problem. I'm able to bath my flea-infested dog (the first few times it just dropped the queue and wouldn't bathe him) but no matter how many baths I give him, he still has fleas. What is going on Maxis?!

I hate this, I can't give my dog a flea bath, I've been trying hundreds of time and the queue just goes away and nothing happens. I can bathe the cats or, almost cos they scratch the sim and runs away but at least they are taken to the bathtub, the dog isn't even going to the tub... annoying since I can't get rid of the fleas...

If all else fails, you can turn on cheats, and then click on any moodlet to remove it.

I'm having the same problem. My sim is best friends with the dog (relationship bar all the way green) & still can't give him the bath. The task shows up in the queue, but immediately gets canceled out and they get a boost in relationship from the non-existent interaction. I have purchased two different tubs, but still nothing works. Finally just cheated away the flea moodlet so everyone in the family would stop getting them :evil:

I found that all the action bars had to be cleared for it to work- I also had to have both the pet and my sim standing by the bath- then it would work. When my dog was asleep the action kept cancelling.
It seems very glitchy to me personally
